This soundscape of the Ashdown Forest is dedicated to James Adler.
James was the Chief Executive of the Conservators of Ashdown Forest from January 2021 to May 2023.
Why is Ashdown Forest special?
This soundscape is a compilation of highlights of interviews with people who know and love the Forest, blended with wildlife sounds. It is a celebration of this rare space, so close to the biggest city in Europe.
Produced by Eka Morgan in 2017.
